Acta Paediatr Hung. 1985;26(3):205-14.

Abstract

Renovascular disorders are rather rare in children and adolescents but have severe consequences due to complicating hypertension. Six cases successfully treated by surgery are described. The importance of early diagnosis and vascular correction is stressed; normalization of blood pressure has been achieved in every case.
